TN Red Cross gives you a chance to win tickets by giving blood through CMA partnership

TENN. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Red Cross is partnering with the Country Music Association to give donors a chance to win free tickets to the CMA Fest next month.

From now to Thursday, those who give at participating blood drives or Red Cross blood donor centers across Tennessee will automatically be entered for a chance to win two four-night passes to Nissan Stadium at CMA Fest 2025 and two four-day passes to Fan Fair X presented by SoFi in Nashville. The events will take place June 5-8, 2025.

This partnership comes as the Red Cross faces a critical shortage of donations this year. Click here to schedule your appointment and find a donation center near you.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
